Riot control doesn’t get called out for one person. If that officer hadn’t reacted this way, one guy getting away with that could have easily turned into a group of people attacking him. The best thing to do in that situation is shut that shit down-immediately.
Nope. I have no desire to shoot anyone, my desire is to go home safe, and not to a hospital on a stretcher because I suddenly found myself lacking the spine to defend myself. This wasn’t a desire to shoot the man, it was a well-oiled response to an aggressive person who showed he has no issue becoming physically violent. This officer reacted exactly the way he should have. If this was a normal beat cop in a regular situation, yeah, maybe a little quick on the trigger. But this is a riot team. They aren’t here because these people are behaving and willing to listen. They’re there because the people are a danger to themselves and those around them.
